The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and biological properties of a physical suture anchor, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
Yes
The device is described as an "implantable device made from Solvay's Zeniva® ZA-600L polyetheretherketone (PEEK) material indicated for soft tissue reattachment procedures." These procedures are therapeutic interventions.
No
Explanation: The ICONN Answer II Suture Anchor is a reattachment device for soft tissue repair. Its intended use and description clearly state it is an implantable device used in surgical procedures and performance studies focus on mechanical properties and biocompatibility, not on providing diagnostic information.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a sterile, single-use implantable device made from PEEK material, which is a physical hardware component.
Based on the provided text, the device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "soft tissue reattachment procedures in the shoulder, foot, and ankle." This describes a surgical implant used directly in the body for structural support.
- Device Description: The device is described as a "sterile (gamma irradiation), single use implantable device made from Solvay's Zeniva® ZA-600L polyetheretherketone (PEEK) material." This further confirms it's an implantable medical device.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing samples from the human body (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Providing information about a patient's health status, diagnosis, or disease.
- Using reagents or assays.
The device is clearly a surgical implant used for mechanical support during soft tissue repair, not a diagnostic tool used outside the body to analyze biological samples.

Summary of Performance Studies
Performance testing was conducted for both pullout characteristics and torsional properties. For pullout characteristics, the FDA's Draft Guidance Document for Testing Bone Anchor Devices (April 20, 1996) was used for guidance in side by side mechanical testing performed on the subject device and predicate for the following test modes: Anchor displacement after cyclic loading, Ultimate anchor pull-out. Pullout testing showed that the ICONN Answer II Suture Anchor performed similarly or better than the predicates or within acceptable ranges for the intended use. For insertion testing, ASTM F543-2013 was followed, specifically the sections on torsional properties (section A1 of the standard) and driving torque (section A2 of the standard) were analyzed and compared to demonstrate the device can be safely implanted. Cytotoxicity, irritation, and sensitization testing were carried out in accordance with ISO 10993/(R)2013 and all testing met acceptance criteria. For cytotoxicity, all test articles resulted in a cytotoxicity score of zero (0) with an acceptance criteria of 2 or less. For irritation, a score difference of 0.0 for the SC extract and 0.1 for the SO extract was seen, with an acceptance criteria of 0.2 or less. For sensitization, the test article extracts showed no evidence of causing delayed dermal contact sensitization, which is also the acceptance criteria. In accordance with ANSI/AAMI ST72:2016 LAL testing was conducted using the Kinetic-Chromogenic assay and the results demonstrated the test articles were
§ 888.3040 Smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener.
(a)
Identification. A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Whitt Israel:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrl/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
